Virginia 183 1924 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design authentically recreates the classic look of the 1924 Virginia Route 183 road sign. It's a snapshot of early 20th-century highway design, a time when state-specific route markers were a relatively new concept.

Design Elements

The design faithfully replicates the iconic cutout shield shape. At the top, the word "VIRGINIA" is proudly displayed in bold, block capital letters, echoing the original sign's dedication to the Commonwealth. Below, the route number "183" takes center stage, rendered in large, bold numerals, mirroring the sign's primary function of clear and immediate identification.

Color Scheme & Symbolism

The design utilizes the period-appropriate color scheme of black text against a white background, reflecting the original porcelain-enamel signs. This simple yet impactful palette provided excellent visibility, crucial for drivers navigating early roadways. The shield shape itself represents the protective function of the highway system, guiding travelers safely to their destinations. It signifies the state's commitment to building and maintaining its roads.

This design serves as a mini-history lesson on a shot glass. It encapsulates the early days of state-maintained roadways, and the evolution of the road sign that we all have come to know.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

Theyโ€™re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml) โ€” standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours โ€” less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning โ€” place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (โ‰ˆ44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
